I present to you, the first in a series of operations featuring Scorpion.Scorpion OPS: "Foreclosure"

Sunday, July 22nd at 14:00 CST (Chicago) / 19:00 GMT (London)

These missions chronicle the activities of a black ops QRF unit detailed to investigate and analyze the most dangerous threats
which present an immediate clear and present danger to not only our own country, but the greater community of nations, and the world.

The Developing Situation

The following details are a part of the mission briefing...

Scorpion Actual -- Four days ago, NSA analysts responded to an alert thrown by NIMROD, their communications monitoring directive. A cellular call originating from a phone in Zargabad included some language that caused the program to raise some major red flags. During a certain part of the intercept, one party can be clearly asking the other party about the delivery status of the ''Triggered Arc Regulator'' or ''TAR''.

TARs are manufactured for only two purposes, to assist in the ignition of very large rocket motors, and in the firing mechanism used to detonate certain nuclear weapons...

NSA has been able to ID the party asking the question, a Khaled ibn Furqan, a moderately powerful local militia leader and weapons poacher with a history of robbery attempts and idle threats made towards NATO forces.

Further SIGINT confirmed Fuqan received his ''tools'' yesterday. Before about 96 hours ago, no agency had considered Khaled worthy of much notice.

Needless to say, he now has the Department of Defense and CIA's complete and undivided attention.

NOTE: Times are incorrect. UTC is ideal, but if you must use GMT you have to consider that daylight savings time is NOT consistent across the globe -- even within timezones themselves!

In this event's case, the correct times are calculated as thus:

14:00:00 Sunday July 22, 2012 in America/Chicago converts to
19:00:00 Sunday July 22, 2012 in GMT
Daylight Saving Time is in effect on this date/time in America/Chicago
Daylight Saving Time is not in effect on this date/time in GMT

SUGGESTION: Always reference this link to for folks to convert relative to their locale. You can post the time in your local time as long you specify the source time so the user can use the tool effectively:
